If there's one thing the popularity of GoPro cameras have given mankind, it's the ability to enjoy near-death experiences from a safe and comfortable remote vantage point.

Old Spock versus new Spock. Nimoy versus Quinto. Yep, Audi knows what it's doing. And even if it's super cheesy, ending with Audi's automated racing car is just brilliant. Hell, I can't even remember what was being advertised it's that good. Read More >>
We've seen some terribleadverts in our time, but this one, well, it takes the absolute biscuit. From the horrendous acting, gyrating women, and the sleaziest-looking garage owner ever to grace the small screen, to the practically offensive-to-the-ears soundtrack, who in their right mind thought this was actually, err, good. It's so bad, it's funny. [YouTube via Mashable] Read More >>
Remember that hilarious GTA V Scientology spoof, Epsilon Program? Well, it's back, and this time it's a casting call for all those who want to actually be in Rockstar's latest epic. Submit your details and photos; things can only go well, right? Read More >>
Hyundai's had to pull an advert and profusely apologise for belittling the sensitive subject of car-assisted suicide. Yeah, OK, your car doesn't spit out many fumes, but really? Who in their right mind thought that was a good idea? Read More >>
For some reason Jaguar thought it necessary to get Ridley Scott and Damian Lewis to spit out a film to get you lusting after the gorgeous new F Type. It seriously wasn't necessary, but I'm not complaining. Beautiful cars, quality actors, gangsters, guns, and Mexico, what's not to like? Oh, and don't mess with Damian. Read More >>
Well now you can, if you're minted that is. In probably the most genius move I've seen in a long time for generating cash for charities, some bright spark has come up the idea of auctioning off coffee time with Tim Cook, Elon Musk, and even Robert DeNiro. The only problem is Cook's already going for over £110,000. Read More >>

Did you know John Lewis did broadband? No, neither did the rest of the planet. And that's why if you buy anything with an internet connection -- be it a printer, tablet or laptop -- the department store will gift you six-whole-months of free broadband. Read More >>
You know how the heat drives you mad? Makes you all itchy and impulsive? That's the only explanation for the trend known as sidewall skiing, which sees bored youths flipping their vehicles onto two wheels then standing on the sides. Read More >>

To shamelessly promote the Iron Man 3 launch -- 25th April, for you calendar-watchers out there -- Marvel's touring a nationwide Kinect-powered virtual reality setup that lets you 'become' Iron Man. And yeah, it's pretty much as awesome as it sounds. Read More >>
Some of London's stupidest graffiti is being corrected out there on the streets, thanks to the work of a crack team of apostrophe-aware tutors armed with marker pens and keen to right the wrongs of poorly written street art. Read More >>
It's Easter, and you know what that means -- chocolate! Because the Easter Bunny is real, damn it. And in some shameless self promotion, Tesco's taking to the virtual streets to hide some Easter eggs about town. Find three of the suckers and blag yourself one of the real variety. Time to get hunting. Read More >>
